Major W for the okies in this one, BA and Mustang were pretty much given, but Yukon and Southmoore both making finals? I definitely didn’t see that coming

Already a historic night for Lincoln! Their best placement at a Super Regional prelims ever, and made finals at a Super Regional in consecutive years for the first time (and the 2nd band from SD to do so after Roosevelt in 2006 and 2007). As an alum, I'm absolutely thrilled that they made the top half! Can't wait to see them and everyone else tonight!

I definitely didn’t see that coming Overall, a great weekend for Oklahoma Bands with Coweta making finals in Johnson City, Owasso making finals in Prosper, & Choctaw winning Class AA in Prosper! Hopefully Jenks & Union can have a great showing next week in Indianapolis.

Really enjoyed Southmoore's show. I love the overall show design; beautiful music book with lovely visuals to accompany it. There was definitely a tear in the closer, and everything could've been a bit cleaner, but so much potential with this group. Wonderful job selling the overall show concept to the audience!

Really enjoyed the first two Oklahoma bands! Southmoore was super pretty, I think they have a bright future ahead of them! And Yukon was also super great!! So happy for them to make finals at their first BOA contest!

Didn’t get the chance to watch prelims, but boy am I glad I didn’t miss Blue Springs South tonight that was really impressive. Really strong visually

Lindberg has really grown into this show. Great brass sound and solid visual all around. Congrats on making STL finals and ending the season on a great run!
Southmoore was great! Really loved the show, they are definetly on the rise (haha sun joke)
Yukon, another great showing from an Oklahoma band we have heard more and more about! Very cool visual program and some cool props too. Great job Yukon!
Blue Springs South has an awesome visual program from Vento, great choreo and colors. Guitar soloist ROCKED it! Had some cool technical passages too, and the band played strongly!

I was fortunate to see both Yukon and Blue Springs South at Union last week Live. I enjoyed both of them then and again tonight. Love the drama from Yukon, the tension between the stretched ribbon, love that. BS South is so colorful, powerful and moody. Congrats to both for being Finalists tonight!

Hernando brought the HEAT tonight! What a great run! Battery played some notes. Props especially to the basses!

Blue Springs South was so good! The colors POPPED on the field, and they sound good! I thought Hernando was fantastic! Such a well executed show for a band their size. Impressed!

Completely missed Hernando earlier today. I'm also pretty sure they slipped my radar a few years back, and now I remember them being super impressive back then as well. Needless to say, Hernando was extremely impressive. They can definitely play at a high level! Overall quite a clean show and solid design. Very glad i didn't miss them tonight.

Ahhhh. I LOVE Hernando! So good! A wonderful, tidy, gold glazed package. And the best gifts are always in tidy packages! 😉 Beautiful performance. And great musically.

Absolutely beautiful, gorgeous, balanced, full sounds coming from Lake Travis. Stunningly performed music; I think the visual design definitely could be a bit better, but overall a beautiful show well-executed.
My bottom half rankings: Lake Travis Southmoore Hernando Grain Valley Blue Springs South Yukon Lindbergh

Team Texas brought the heat!! I thought Lake Travis was amazing and I could see them sneaking into top half. LD Bell was also INCREDIBLE! Such a beautiful show, and I’m a sucker for One Day I’ll Fly Away

I was thoroughly impressed by LD Bell! They sounded much better than at Bedford a week ago when they had problems with individual players sticking out in the brass. Tonight they sounded much more refined and I thought the big impact in the ballad was the best part of the show. I'm not as convinced with the visual design, it seems a bit muddled at times and there's still a bit of dirt in the drill itself, but it was still a really good performance from them.

I honestly didn't know a show could be so beautiful, but also fun at the same time. Mustang impressed me during Prelims, but blew me away tonight! They fully deserve their Class placement from Prelims.

MUSTANG!!!! Good golly, this was my first time seeing them live and WOW!! So much power and such a fun show! I could ABSOLUTELY seem them in Grand National Finals. Could they give Blue Springs a run for their money??

Honestly that is just a super fun show from Mustang. Regardless of how they place here or for the rest of their season you can tell that every student just loves performing this show and that energy is fed to the audience. Can't wait to see this at Grand Nationals.
